Pay Attention

from Smoke Ring Halo by The Wood Brothers

lyrics

Please pay attention to me
was the last thing i heard 'fore i drifted to sleep
children to tend to
and a worryin' mind
too much to do
and not enough time
I hate to be needy selfish and greedy
please pay attention to me

Please pay attention to me
was last thing i heard comin out of my dream
I got something to tell you
when the sun has gone down
if you don't listen
I talk much too loud
I hate to be needy
selfish and greedy
please pay attention to me

won't you look my way
I'm waving my arms
and I'm calling your name
there's too much to mention
that grabs your attention
please pay attention to me

wish i could cut myself free
why should i care if you listen to me
children to tend to
and a worryin mind
too much to do
and not enough time

I hate to be needy selfish and greedy
I hate to keep asking and beggin and pleadin
I'm down on my knees under your window screaming
please pay attention to me
please pay attention to me
please pay attention to me
